Lighter these days has really been unbearable. Prices fluctuate wildly, and the friends holding positions are also riding a roller coaster of emotions.
Thinking about the mechanism of market prediction, it’s like a magnifying glass that amplifies everyone’s emotions infinitely. A small breeze or disturbance can immediately trigger intense market volatility. People inside are either celebrating or anxious, with hardly any calm moments in between.
This is the double-edged sword of the prediction market — it can quickly reflect market expectations, but at the same time, it greatly amplifies the psychological fluctuations of participants. Holders watch the prices dance every day, and the most testing moments for their mindset are probably during these times.

Prediction markets are like this, the smell of Ponzi schemes is too strong, easily turning into a playground for big players to harvest retail investors.
The act of "harvesting" is just about this mentality; claiming it's a magnifying glass actually just amplifies participants' greed.
Lighter's current move is probably testing whose psychological endurance.
The rhetoric sounds nice, but essentially it's about who can run faster.
It makes me angry just thinking about it. Playing small amounts is okay, but don't go all in.
A quick look at the distribution of chips reveals that big players are squeezing retail investors' entry points.
Every time I see the price dance, it feels like watching a harvest CUT, which is not investment advice, haha.
Without enough capital support, this kind of prediction market will eventually crash.

The prediction market is like this; sentiment transmission is too fast. Lighter's recent surge is indeed crazy, it's exhausting just watching for the holders.
